This book has changed my life for the better. It is the first non fiction book i have ever read and the first philosophy book. Elliot D Cohen, the author, was my professor at college and required this book for his class.

Man when i tell you how blown away i was with these philosophical teaching, it truly changed how i think. The book is designed to be a guide to work through destructive ways of thinking, such as demanding perfection or stereotyping. It will show you how these ways of thinking are hurting you and the others around you, and lists multiple ways to go about correcting this, through alternative thought processes.

It helped me have an overall better perspective on life and made me far more optimistic. If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, this book can also help you move along. You'd be surprised how much the way you think is hurting your life.

This book is amazing but may require a more mature mind that is open minded towards criticism and for those who truly want to be better people, whether for yourself or for others. I love the potential this book has in changing your life.
